17-18 months old

It's so hard to believe that the baby of the family is now 18 months old!  This girl has quite the personality and loves doing things with her big siblings.  She loves giving out hugs and kisses (to me and sometimes her dad) and has the biggest smile!

Emery still loves staying close to my side during the day, but tolerates not being with us. She still loves Connor.  She didn't see him for about 4 days a few weeks ago and just loved on him for a good 5 minutes while we were on a bus ride to the airport.  Elli has been doing pretty good playing with her lately, but Emery has started doing this scream when Elli gets too close to her.  
Emery is slowly starting to talk more.  She has about 15 words that she says.  They are mainly prompted by me.  She is saying 'mom, more, ball, boat, dog, cat, up, down, yeah, hot, dad, bath' and a few more that I can't think of right now.  Her newest word is 'love.'  It's so funny to see her say this, as she really gets her tongue moving.
Emery is a decent eater and loves to dip all her food in ranch or ketsup.  We adopted this habit after her 15 month appointment where we were trying to get additional calories in her.  I'm happy to report that she gained a little more than 2.5 pounds and is back on the growth charts!  She loves using utensils, but is an extremely messy eater.
We saw a new surgeon a few weeks ago here in Indy.  He believes her hernia is gone and that the cosmetic part of the surgery was never performed, which might be best for her development.  We need to just keep an eye on it in case it comes back.
Emery loves playing with her toys.  Her favorite things are boats, airplanes, and animals.  She loves being outside and has recently been listening for airplanes in the sky.  She has started doing summersaults and just took her first gymnastics class on Friday.  Emery is sitting for a little longer while watching T.V.  Her favorite show is Superwings on Sprout.

This little girl is growing so quick!  We love watching the new things she learns each day!
